Consumer Description

IGNITION SWITCH WHEN PLACED IN THE OFF POSITION WITH THE KEY REMOVED. BLOWER FOR THE HEAT/AC WILL COME ON. HAS DRAINED MY BATTERY ONCE. I MUST KEEP THE BLOWER IN THE OFF POSITION WHEN NOT IN TRUCK. UNKNOWN IF OTHER ACCESSORIES ARE ACTIVATED WHEN KEY IS REMOVED FROM IGNITION SWITCH. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TURN OFF THE TRUCK. WITH THIS PROBLEM, COULD IT LEAD TO OTHER PROBLEMS WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK?
